< Job 14 >

1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
If [are] determined - days his [the] number of months his [is] with you (limits his *Q(K)*) you have appointed and not he will pass.
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
For there for a tree [is] hope if it will be cut down and again it will sprout afresh and young shoot[s] its not it will fail.
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
And a person he lies down and not he will arise until [is] not heaven not they will awake and not they will be roused from sleep their.
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
Who? will he give - in Sheol you will hide me you will conceal me until turns back anger your you will set for me a limit and you will remember me. (Sheol h7585)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
[will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
Stones - they rub away waters it washes off overflowings its [the] dust of [the] earth and [the] hope of humankind you destroy.
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
